who love and strengthen one another,
who seek to follow and to know Jesus of Nazareth,
who love, comfort and serve others in word and deed, and
who invite and welcome all in the Spirit of Christ.
We believe that Grace Presbyterian Church will become…
… A place where, on any Sunday, a visitor finds people reaching out with hospitality and putting ministry before personal friendships or conducting church business. The people of the congregation are engaged with the Living God in a worship experience filled with spiritual energy. Many who come once will return because the comfort of faith and a spiritual family is what they seek, and Grace is the place where they feel at home.
…A place where on any given day, one might find children, youth, and adults, playing, worshipping, or serving our local community. The people of this growing congregation connect each Sunday through worship, and find their closest friendships through small groups of individuals in which they share life, worship, study, support, and mission together. Leaders of the church actively initiate and encourage new groups to help people find a place and a mission.
…Increasingly recognized in the community as a place where Jesus is known, where broken lives are healed, and where people find ways to honor God by making a difference in their world. People feel they have permission to take initiative in finding and meeting needs in ways that express the congregation’s mission and core values.
…A place where people of all ages are strongly encouraged to develop their spiritual lives. Members know that the aim of their spiritual growth is to be Christ’s witness in their neighborhoods, their schools, and their workplaces. They learn to express to others “the hope that lives within them” as God opens doors for such conversations.
Does this seem like a place where you want to be?
